Something growing on my new candy cane coral

[Scott Ulrich]

Hi everyone, picked up a couple new corals last week that are in a qt tank. The candy cane has this red "growth". I have no idea if it is part of the coral or something else. The coral has 3 heads so I suppose I could cut this one it if needed.

Thanks!

Thanks! Will it hurt the coral? Should I pluck it off or leave it?
